Summer Vegetable Soup

If I had it my way, I would probably eat soup for every single meal– even in the summertime. Cory, however, thinks I’m absolutely crazy when I whip up a batch of soup or chili with 80+ degree temps in the middle of the summer. Soup is just so comforting and filling no matter the weather for me that I could honestly eat it 7 days a week!

Cory may have thought I was headed off the deep end, but I couldn’t help but make a huge batch of this delicious summer vegetable soup– complete with vegetables I picked up at the local farm stand. Have I mentioned how much I love summer lately? Having such easy access so many delicious and fresh fruits and vegetables is the best!

1. Combine all of the above ingredients except the pasta and cook in the crock-pot on low for 6-8 hours.
2. Add pasta 1 hour before serving.
3. Serve hot (of course) with a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of fresh parmesan cheese.

If you’re like me and like to make a huge crock-pot full, head over to Sam’s Club for your ingredients– you get more bang for your buck and they have Swanson Chicken Broth in bulk!

You better believe I’ll be using these leftovers for easy lunches for myself over the weekend as well as my lunches all week long for work! So easy, so delicious and all those farm stand fresh veggies are so good!

Do you make soups in the summer?
What’s your favorite summer soup recipe?

This looks a amazing and I have a plethora of summer vegetables growing in my garden, so I will definitely be trying this recipe soon. And yes, I have been known to make soup and chili in the summer too…go figure. I am also a registered nurse like you. Maybe there is just something in our “nursing genes” that makes us want to create healthy comfort foods all year long, no matter what the thermometer outside reads. I am visiting from Tabler Party of Two..”….thanks for sharing this recipe!

Soup looks great, but I have a question about the amount of chicken broth used. The recipe calls for 3 cans of chicken broth, but the picture shows the 32 oz. carton. I’m assuming that it should be 3 cans (16 oz.), but just wanted to verify that before making the soup. I’m looking forward to trying it, it looks very tasty.

I hate when I make a new recipe and find an error. It’s like reading something with incorrect grammar! I made this recipe as written, and found that 2 cups of Pastina was way too much. I questioned the amount when I was making it, but decided that the writer most likely knew the amount in his/her recipe. I think 1/2 cup of Pastina would be just right. The “soup” tastes very good. I liken it to a bowl of noodles (the Pastina part) with vegetables and seasonings! I have put it into my recipe files with the correction.

I’m sorry you didn’t agree with my measurements. I cooked it in a big crock-pot and I personally like more Pastina in my soup! The great thing about recipes is you can alter them as you please– I do that all too frequently 🙂 Glad you enjoyed it with the alteration!
